Started using it just over a year ago. Purchased the 6 month package. When it ended I went back to regular old streams, and that lasted about a month before I bought back into real debrid. Imo it's worth it and I'll keep it going from now on.

Debrid services don't "improve" connections so much as give more options for (the same) sources.

It's basically like borrowing "a friend's" premium accounts to file locker services, which is why I don't buy these reports that ISPs are "throttling" RD "connections" -- these services don't change anything about your connection at all. This is also why debrid services do nothing to enhance live streaming, which would benefit from any enhancements to a connection.

As far as the original question: I found that in my experience it does work at what it claims to do, but I also found it didn't enhance my experience so much -- I do much more live streaming -- to really justify even the meager cost of the service.

With RD and Premiumize, you are downloading the content proxied through the debrid service's servers, not directly, so if your ISP has a bad peering connection with the debrid service's ISP, your speed will suck even if you would get good speed with a direct premium account with a given hoster. (That's been at&t's problem with RD in the past few months, actually)
